Chapter 48
Yolanda read the message thoughtfully. Much later on, she realized that Aaron didn't like the white dress nor pure girls at all. Given that he had always been vain, he must be only attracted to breathtaking beauties.
Thinking of this, Yolanda gave herself a knock on her head, regretting not having been aware of that earlier when he showed no reaction to her spinning in an affected way in front of him.
Yolanda found Aaron so scheming. When he didn't like such a style, he chose to indicate what he liked through the silk stockings instead of making it explicit. But Yolanda had to admit such a physical indication was more effective and impressive than words.
Yolanda took out the stockings and spread them slowly. The stockings were black and transparent, leaving people a lot of room for imagination. Besides, they were as thin as a veil, sexy but delicate, as if they would be torn easily.
Now Yolanda regretted so much having promised Aaron to take a picture of the gift after it was unwrapped, thinking, 'How will I take a picture of the stockings? By putting them on? It'll be too embarrassing!'
As a girl in her twenties, Yolanda did wear stockings before, but she had never worn such black and transparent ones.
She found it so attractive even to a woman like her just by putting her arm into the stockings. Besides, this so-called momento also couldn't help being connected to sex.
Thinking of this, Yolanda blushed and quickly hid the stockings in a drawer of the bedside table. The moment she closed the drawer, her heart suddenly thumped with excitement as she froze there, staring at the black box on the bedside table.
It seemed that the gift she prepared for Aaron was a perfect match for the stockings from him. To some extent, it also meant the two of them were born to be a good match, eager to love and be loved by each other.
But unlike Aaron, Yolanda was more reserved as a woman. She even found no easy way to contact Aaron because of the stockings lest he would ask for the pictures of the gift suddenly.
Fortunately, Aaron didn't contact her after lunch, probably because he was busy working overtime.
Greatly bothered by the stockings, Yolanda couldn't calm herself down and could only go talk to Phoebe and Charlie, also as a way of making up for her regret about not spending enough time with them last night because she left in advance.
Then Yolanda took off the white dress and changed into casual jeans for this date.
"I won't be back tonight," Yolanda told Marc while changing her shoes.
Marc couldn't help frowning at the news that she would spend the night with Aaron after she had just had lunch with him. "Don't you think you two shouldn't be in such a hurry?"
Yolanda rolled her eyes at him. "What are you thinking? I'm just going to spend the night with my best friend to talk to her."
Marc wasn't sure if Yolanda was telling the truth. After all, she was old enough to date someone. Just as Aaron had said before, Marc would have no way to stop her from even having sex with her boyfriend despite being her sister.
So Marc didn't ask more about it and just said calmly, "Anyway, remember to protect yourself from being pregnant."
Yolanda was left speechless, but she didn't even bother to explain.
It was sunny outside. When Yolanda called Phoebe and was told she was reshooting a scene at a film studio in the suburbs, she directly drove there.
It was the first time that Yolanda had been to Capital's film studio, which was one of the most famous domestic filming sites and included a dozen vast filming bases.
Phoebe was reshooting a scene for a costume drama when Yolanda arrived, so Yolanda just stood there silently without disturbing her.
About ten minutes later, someone brought her a director's chair. "Mr. Watler, please take a seat."
Yolanda didn't expect to be recognized here. She turned around and found it was a young man who looked familiar, but she couldn't recall his name.
Failing to remember who he was, Yolanda was somewhat embarrassed and could only thank him.
Then the young man just walked away to read his script without saying anything else.
After that, Yolanda spent quite a long time recollecting his name silently. He was called Fire Beaumont, and she browsed his cv last week when she chose the actor to play the role of the male protagonist of The Moment.
As a popular star, Fire had earned some achievements in filming and singing. Even his fans were nicknamed Fire.
With the chair, Yolanda didn't have to stand up anymore. She sat down and watched Phoebe filming for another half an hour. In the process, she was so impressed by Phoebe's great performance. Despite Phoebe's dirty mind, she was indeed professional and worked hard in filming. To reshoot this action scene, Phoebe never tired of working with her opposite actor to get him into the right condition even after they had tried a dozen times.
After Phoebe had a hard time finishing filming, she changed her clothes and then came to Yolanda. "Let's go now? I'll treat you to the most famous steak here."
Yolanda didn't move. "Wait a minute. I'd like to stay to watch Fire filming."
Now it was Fire's turn to film. Phoebe also took a seat beside her and joked, "Are you interested in him?"
Yolanda rolled her eyes at her. "I just received his cv for audition from his agent. Since I happen to be here today, why not stay to see if he's suitable for that role."
Phoebe nodded. "As a popular star, Fire is better at filming than his peers and is also easy-going."
Yolanda didn't speak and just watched Fire filming carefully.
This was also an action scene, and Fire was working together with another actor over and over again, hanging from the wire.
He did a good job and finished filming after shooting three times. When Fire put down the sword in his hand and slowly descended, he happened to meet Yolanda's gaze as she was staring up at him on the chair.
Fire smiled slightly, and Yolanda also nodded in response when she remembered that he brought her the chair. Then she pulled Phoebe up. "Let's go. What do we have for dinner?"
The two of them walked outside while talking. The moment they walked out of the film studio, someone suddenly shouted from behind, "Be careful!"
Before Yolanda could recover from the shock, she saw a huge metal prop door beside her fall right to her. On the verge of being hit by the door, someone suddenly pushed her away.
With a bang, the iron door fell to the ground, causing a cloud of dust to rise. Because Yolanda was pushed away in time, she just fell to the ground and hit her calf on a plank beside her.
She happened to hit right on the previously injured part in that car accident and instantly felt a sharp pain.
Phoebe also fell to the ground since she stood beside Yolanda. Upon noticing that Yolanda was in pain, Phoebe hurriedly stood up to help her up. "Are you okay, Yolanda?"
Fire also walked over after pushing the metal door aside. "Are you all right, Mr. Watler?"
Yolanda looked up in pain and then realized that it was Fire who saved her just now. "Thanks, I'm fine."
Fire said, "There's a clinic nearby. Do you need to lead you there to have a check?"
Yolanda shook her head. "No, I..."
Before she could finish speaking, a female voice interrupted her, "Yolanda, what happened? Are you injured?"
Yolanda was stunned as she saw a beautiful woman approach, thinking, 'Is it the famous actress and Mr. Webster's girlfriend, Charlotte Whittaker?'
Although Yolanda had met Charlotte before when she was out with Aaron, Yolanda didn't know her well and even talked little with her. So she didn't know why Charlotte seemed so concerned about her.
Yolanda opened her mouth. But before she could say something, Charlotte held her hand familiarly. "My car is over there. Let's talk in my car."
Then she whispered in Yolanda's ear, "Mr. Jensen is in my car."
Yolanda was so stunned, thinking, 'What a coincidence!'
Since Charlotte mentioned Aaron, Yolanda knew she had no way to decline. So she had to say goodbye to Phoebe and then moved slowly to follow Charlotte to her car.
The car door opened to reveal the two men inside. One of them was Bruce, and the other one was her boyfriend. The moment she saw the two of them sit together, she found the two of them were a good match, with one being refined and gentle with glasses in a white shirt, the other one being imposing and smart in black.
As soon as Yolanda got into the car, Bruce gave up his seat to her and sat in the front seat for Charlotte's assistant.
Since it was hot today, Aaron was wearing a casual shirt with a slightly open collar, which made him seem less serious.
Holding Yolanda's hand, he pulled and seated her beside him. "Why are you here?"
Yolanda replied, "I came to see Phoebe and also learn about filming."
Aaron slowly shifted his gaze from somewhere outside to her leg. "Where did you hit yourself?"
Before Yolanda could say something, Charlotte said, "There's a clinic nearby. You'd better have a check in case your bone is injured."
Embarrassed, Yolanda smiled. "It shouldn't be serious."
"Let's go have a check," Aaron said.
Then they were driven to the nearby clinic.
Knowing that Aaron and Yolanda were keeping their relationship secret, Charlotte got out of the car first to clear others. Fortunately, no one was in the clinic.
After ensuring that no one was around, Yolanda limped out of the car and was about to walk into the clinic when she was picked up by Aaron from behind.
Startled, she subconsciously put her arms around his neck. Aaron seemed to be stunned, probably because he didn't expect her to offer to do so.
Aaron paused. As he looked down at Yolanda in his arms, he happened to meet her gaze.
Immediately, Yolanda loosened her grip on Aaron. After all, it seemed somewhat weird to get so close to him all of a sudden after she just spent the whole morning pretending to be a vulnerable girl who couldn't even cut the steak.
She pretended to withdraw her hands calmly to make up for it. Although she knew such a girl wasn't his type, it would be rash to give it up suddenly.
But she liked it so much when she rested her head on his chest, which made her feel secure. Besides, she was afraid she would regret missing such a good chance to be so intimate with him.
So after hesitating for seconds, she decided to make full use of this chance, leaving the stupid pretence behind and trying to live in the moment. All Yolanda wanted now was to immerse herself in the pleasure of being carried in her boyfriend's arms.
Finally, Yolanda put her arms, which rested on Aaron's chest, around his neck again, burying her head in his arms in a lovely way.
Despite knowing what Yolanda was thinking, Aaron just kept silent to see what she chose after her dramatic thoughts. Eventually, he gave a faint smile, as a way of showing that he was quite satisfied with her choice. At the same time, he had to admit that his girlfriend was indeed dramatic in only a fifty-meter walk.
In the clinic, the doctor seated Yolanda, knocked around her calf with a small tool, spread her legs several times, and finally said, "There's nothing wrong with your bones, so it's only a superficial injury. Please lift your trousers slightly to let me see if there's a haematoma."
Since Yolanda was wearing tight jeans whose bottoms were too narrow to be lifted, it hurt even more after several attempts. She couldn't even endure the pain and had to give up. "Well, let's stop here."
The doctor hesitated. "If so, then I can't prescribe you."
Knowing it was because her jeans were too tight, Aaron paused and asked the doctor, "Do you have scissors?"
The doctor was stunned for a moment and then turned around to get him scissors for gauze from a sterilization box.
Then Aaron squatted down in front of Yolanda and pressed her injured leg. Before Yolanda could realize what he was up to, she felt the cold scissors moving up from the bottoms of jeans.
Yolanda breathed deeply and couldn't help shivering as she felt the mixture of Aaron's warm hands and the shining and cold metal scissors.
The moment she felt the warmth and coldness, she had some special feelings. With her heart beating faster, Yolanda gripped the disposable sheet on the bed unconsciously. The feelings were still spreading while Aaron cut her jeans around the injury slowly.
As if by magic, he made Yolanda so hot and breathless as his rough hands moved up from her ankle along her blood vessel slowly and carefully.
Yolanda was somewhat at a loss what to do. When she subconsciously cowered backwards, Aaron gripped her ankle directly with his other hand and even pulled it back as if she was a naughty kitten.
"Don't move."
Yolanda was so helpless.
At this time, Aaron was cutting the beam, which was too hard for scissors. So he put down the scissors and tore the beam easily with his bare hands to reveal her injury.
Yolanda felt her face burning as she couldn't help picturing some hot scenes as if possessed by Phoebe.
The doctor walked over to check the injury and said calmly, "There's nothing serious except some bruises. You'll recover after applying some medicine."
In the filming base, it was a regular occurrence that actors got injured, so such medicine for superficial injuries was very common in the clinic.
The doctor disinfected Yolanda's injury as he handed Aaron an unguent. "Three times a day, and two or three days is enough."
Aaron took it and turned to ask Yolanda, "Did you drive here?"
She nodded.
"Give me the key."
Then he took the car key. About ten minutes later, Aaron parked the car in front of the clinic and then carried Yolanda into the car.
"Where's Mr. Webster?"
"I've told them to go back first."
"Well." Yolanda sat on the passenger seat silently and glanced at Aaron out of the corner of her eye occasionally, still feeling the lingering heat from his hands on her calf. She even felt ambiguous intimacy lingering in the car for no reason.
It was as if he wasn't checking her injury or tearing her jeans.
Thinking of this, Yolanda closed her eyes and started a conversation to get rid of such weird feelings. "Why were you in the filming base?"
"Bruce's girlfriend is filming there, so I took him to see her."
Hearing his words, Yolanda seemed to think of something and blinked, asking, "How much is Charlotte's pay?"
Aaron said, "Do you want to work with her?"
"Yes. Don't you think she's very beautiful? She's greatly impressive when she smiles, and men will easily fall for her at first sight."
Aaron kept silent for a long time. When he stopped in front of traffic lights, he finally turned to glance at Yolanda, saying, "You're more beautiful."
Yolanda was so stunned since she never expected flattery from him. For an instant, she was even at a loss and finally said after being silent for seconds, "Then what about me is more beautiful than her?"
Aaron didn't answer. Instead, he asked a while later, "Will you think Bruce is better than me?"
Hearing that, Yolanda knew what he meant. As the saying goes, "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder."
She agreed on his opinion. After all, although Bruce was also wonderful, Yolanda only liked Aaron, and whatever about him was so attractive to her.
Yolanda gave a faint smile and was rather satisfied with such rational flattery between lovers without involving belittling others.
Half an hour later, the car arrived at Glasgow Apartment.
Aaron carried Yolanda out of the car. Now Yolanda was already very familiar with and enjoyed being carried in his arms, and she even naturally rested her head on Aaron's chest upon being picked up.
She paused for a moment and suddenly sighed, "Do you remember how you treated me when I was taken to your home after that car accident?"
Aaron just kept silent with her in his arms.
Getting no response, Yolanda poked him on the chest with her hand. "Do you need me to help you recall it?"
Then she started to list all her complaints. "You let me limp on and off the car on my own, even without helping me with the wheelchair; you ignored me even when I offered to talk to you or exchange numbers with you. More importantly, I was much more seriously injured at that time than now."
She paused and then looked up at Aaron, pretending to be dramatically sad. "Let's be honest. Haven't you regretted what you did at night? Don't you want to make up for it? What a cold man! Tell me your answer!"
Aaron listened to her complaints patiently along the way and had a hard time carrying her back to her bedroom before going to the bathroom.
Soon, Yolanda heard the sound of running water. She rolled her eyes, wondering, 'Does he think I'm dirty? So he can't even wait to wash his hands upon arrival?'
She tried to stand up and walk. After some attempts, she felt much better after her calf only hurt slightly when she just hit it.
Then she called Marc's name at the door of her bedroom and found he wasn't at home.
Finally, she slowly walked back to see what Aaron was washing so carefully in the bathroom. But soon, he went out with wet tissues in his hands. Then he threw them in the trash can while walking.
"Sit down," he said.
Then Yolanda was seated on the bedside sofa by Aaron. Before she could react, she suddenly felt something cold on her calf.
She looked down and saw Aaron lift her bottoms of jeans and squeeze some from the unguent in his hands to apply it to her injury.
With the cold unguent, Aaron massaged the injured part slowly.
Yolanda didn't expect him to do so and instantly gasped, "What are you doing?"
Aaron didn't even raise his head. "To make up for my previous mistakes."
Yolanda was stunned for a while and then muttered, "It seems not to be the case."
Aaron stopped and looked at her. "Then what do you think I'm doing?"
Men's hands were not as soft as women's and would even feel somewhat rough when they moved on the skin. It happened that the skin on Yolanda's legs was especially delicate. So when Aaron kept massaging her calf, Yolanda felt very weird.
She pursed her lips. "I think you're seducing me."
After being quiet for seconds, Aaron didn't even bother to respond to her and dropped his gaze to continue the massage.
Only at a glance, Yolanda could read his mind that it was all in her imagination from his eyes.
She instantly sat up and mentioned the stockings. "Isn't that the case? You've been seducing me since you gave me that gift after lunch."
Once again, Aaron didn't respond.
Seeing him like this, Yolanda took more offence and bluffed by saying, "Anyway, I won't put the stockings on. Stop daydreaming!"
After applying the medicine and drawing back the bottoms of her jeans, Aaron slowly bent to lock her in his arms and looked into her eyes for seconds before saying lightly, "I'm not that desperate."
Yolanda was left stunned.
"The reason why I chose that gift for you is to let you know that I'm different from Marc. So don't always listen to him," he said in a deep voice as he stared at her.
A while later, Yolanda couldn't stand being stared at like this anymore. She looked away and pushed him away, saying, "My brother is indeed different from you. He always behaves himself."
Just as she finished speaking, some noise came from outside the bedroom. It seemed to be someone unlocking the door and then walking in.
Knowing that it was probably Marc who came back, Aaron decided to go to save being driven out of the house later.
So he put the unguent down on the table and said to Yolanda, "Remember to apply it again before sleeping." Then he opened the door and walked out.
Yolanda stopped him. "Wait a minute. I haven't finished speaking."
She was about to catch up with him when she saw Aaron stand still in the doorway with a weird expression on his face. It seemed that he saw something that he shouldn't have.
"What's wrong?" Yolanda walked over curiously.
In the narrow and long doorway, she was instantly stunned the moment she saw what was happening in the living room. Then she widened her eyes slowly and almost held her breath.
Shrouded in the twilight, the living room was very dark. Now a couple were kissing passionately against the wall without noticing that someone else was present. They kissed while taking off each other's clothes, with the woman's collar half-open and the man's shirt unbuttoned.
Hearing their short gasps, Aaron slowly turned to look at Yolanda, thinking, 'Your brother is indeed behaving himself.'
Yolanda was dumbfounded and speechless, finding no way to justify her brother, knowing that the reason why he was so bold must be that she had said she wouldn't be back tonight.
But what shocked her was that he was making out with Aaron's sister.
In a corner of the living room, the hot scene was still lasting. Before Marc was about to take off his shirt, Aaron stretched out his hand to cover Yolanda's eyes before saying calmly to that couple, "Do you have to do it in the living room?"
